ARRIVAL ON THE YARD [1st day in prison]

I was woken up at about 3.30 am. I had been in count awaiting transport to prison for my first time...i had been in county on trial and playing lawyer games for over 4 months and after trial i awaited this day...county jail is so bad that i couldn't wait to get to prison. As i said previously i was awoke at 330am and i was nervous ,sweating in fact...i viewed myself as tuff and mean when duty called but inside i have always been a sweetguy....persay..so anyhow the guard yelled james get ur ass up in 5 and transports in route...I was excited to see my homie from my click[gang] or whatever it's called these days..to us it was our team...so i rolled up my bed threw my hygeine kit in a bag grabbed my box of letters and pictures and headed down to the holding tank...the door opened and my game face was on.."watz up cuz" i said loudly to greet my homeboy slim and also to let it be known my gang status was on point...i hugged slim n we sat around n kicked war stories about our adventures in count the last 100 days plus...i asked if he had some weed and we rolled a joint out of toilettepaper wrap and told more stories[the stories take on more events that never really happened when the weed gets in your system but for the most part the stories are good...anyhow i asked slim if he'd eatin anything yet and he said he was anticipating our prison food which was said to be great considering county gives you no solid food...so around 6 they stripped us and shackled us and packed us on a bus....as we got on their were several hardened criminals from other counties and prisons starring at us as we walked down the isl'e..duece try gangsta crip over here i yelled out just to let these men know what we were about..several gang affiliations were spewed back at us and we hustled to the back and sat down and waited...the prison bus drove through the desert for a couple hours and we told and listened to many stories all the way there...the bus slowed and finally crept to a stop and the driver pointed to a destination and said[there's your new home fellas] i looked up and saw 8 towers very close to the sky..on top of each tower was a guard toting a ar17 machine gun..i looked in the middle of the towers at a compound so thick with fog that i couldn't see much...we drove into the facility and the gate closed and i was for the first time in 15 yrs of my life..SCARED i was sick to my stomach man i was really worried......to be continued....
